To all our friends in the United States and around the world: The Israeli people have voted for change and to replace the current government. Our democracy remains strong and vibrant. We are working to fulfill the will of the Israeli people by forming a new government as soon as possible - a national emergency government. I intend to bring new leadership to Israel, leadership that serves all Israelis. Together with my partners, we will build a stronger Israel: A Jewish and democratic Israel. An Israel that is committed to liberal values, equality for all and is confident in its future. The bond between Israel and the United States is more than an alliance between governments. It is a partnership between peoples, built over generations, sustained by shared democratic values, and strengthened by the conviction that our nations are more secure and more prosperous when we stand together. Under my leadership, we will renew and deepen that partnership, strengthen the bipartisan foundations that have long sustained it, and work with our allies to advance a Middle East defined not simply by the absence of conflict, but by the presence of opportunity and cooperation. Israel will remain one of America’s most reliable and capable strategic partners in the Middle East, a partnership that is mutually beneficial for both peoples, in every aspect. I look forward to working closely and constructively with President Trump and his administration, whose friendship and commitment to Israel we deeply value. Together, we can advance our shared security interests, strengthen regional stability, and open new doors to prosperity for the peoples of the Middle East. That is the Israel I believe in. And that is the future we intend to build. לחברינו ושותפינו בארצות הברית וברחבי העולם: אזרחי ישראל הצביעו בעד שינוי ובעד החלפתה של הממשלה הנוכחית. הדמוקרטיה שלנו איתנה. אנו פועלים למימוש רצונם של אזרחי ישראל באמצעות הקמת ממשלה חדשה בהקדם האפשרי - ממשלת חירום לאומית. בכוונתי להביא לישראל מנהיגות חדשה - כזו שתפעל למען כלל אזרחי ישראל. יחד עם שותפיי, נבנה ישראל חזקה יותר: ישראל יהודית ודמוקרטית, ליברלית ושוויונית, אשר בטוחה בעתידה. הקשר בין ישראל לארצות הברית הוא הרבה מעבר לברית בין ממשלות. זוהי שותפות בין עמים, שנבנתה לאורך דורות ונשענת על ערכים דמוקרטיים משותפים. זאת, מתוך האמונה כי האומות שלנו בטוחות יותר ומשגשגות יותר כאשר הן עומדות ופועלות יחד. תחת הנהגתי, נחדש ונעמיק את השותפות הזו, נחזק את היסודות הדו-מפלגתיים שעליהם היא נשענת זה שנים, ונעבוד לקידום המזרח תיכון כולו. נפעל לא רק למען צמצומם של סכסוכים, אלא גם למינופן של הזדמנויות ושיתופי פעולה. ישראל תמשיך להיות שותפה אסטרטגית מרכזית ומהימנה של ארצות הברית במזרח התיכון. נתחזק שותפות המיטיבה עם שתי האומות, בכל תחומי החיים. אני מצפה לעבוד בשיתוף פעולה הדוק ופורה עם הנשיא טראמפ וממשלו. אנו מעריכים עמוקות את ידידותם ומחויבותם העמוקה לישראל. יחד נוכל לקדם את האינטרסים הביטחוניים המשותפים לנו, לחזק את היציבות האזורית ולפתוח דלתות חדשות לשגשוג עבור המזרח התיכון. זוהי ישראל שאני מאמין בה וזהו העתיד שאנו מתכוונים לבנות.

Tonight's emerging election results are telling a powerful story about the changing politics of Israel and Palestine in America. Much of the conventional wisdom about Jewish voters, the Democratic Party and the political power of AIPAC has been turned on its head. Here are five big takeaways: 1. No great migration of Jewish voters. We won't have final results from J Street's biennial Jewish voter exit poll until Thursday, but early numbers I'm seeing indicate that once again Jewish Americans are voting at or above 70% Democratic. The much-discussed, so-called "exodus" of Jewish voters from the Democratic Party once again hasn't materialized. 2. J Street is now the political center of gravity on Israel and Palestine in the Democratic Party. When the new Congress convenes, nearly two-thirds of the Democrats in the House and Senate will be J Street-endorsed. These members are the mainstream of the party: committed to Israel's security and existence, to Palestinian rights and self-determination, and to a US policy that advances both. AIPAC, meanwhile, was losing endorsed candidates so rapidly that it ultimately decided to abandon candidate endorsements altogether. 3. The extremes are just that: marginal. There will be a small handful of Democrats who reject any meaningful US-Israel security relationship. And there will be a limited number of others who remain unwilling to challenge Israeli government policies, no matter how destructive those policies are. Neither represents where the heart of the Democratic Party rests today. 4. J Street's political muscle helped create space for that growing consensus. We endorsed 200 candidates for the House and Senate and invested more than $13 million in their campaigns – not just to support our candidates but to defeat some of AIPAC's most prominent endorsees. Our success tonight demonstrates the political power of a new politics that supports both Israelis and Palestinians – and strengthens American democracy. 5. Those who argue that AIPAC lost traction in the Democratic Party because Democrats turned against Israel miss the point – it's AIPAC that fell out of step with Democrats. Its insistence that support for Israel means defending its government, right or wrong, and its willingness to pour enormous sums of money into Democratic primaries made AIPAC – not support for Israel – increasingly unwelcome. Looking ahead, J Street intends to translate this new political reality into a new American policy – one that supports Israel's security, Palestinian freedom and the future of both peoples. That's the approach that represents the center of American Jewish opinion and the Democratic Party. And J Street is at its heart.

An evacuation has been started in Toledo Ohio after a chemical leak from a steel tubing manufacturer. It causes respiratory issues along with eye and lung irritation. These symptoms and images are from outside the evacuation area.

Can we take a moment to recognize and mourn Male V - he cops a little too much hate, but deserves so much love. He's my ideal way of enjoying Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm not ashamed of saying it.
